Connecting Rod Bushing Clearance (Small End)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Measure inner diameter "C" of bushing.
- Measure outer diameter "Dp" of piston pin.
- Calculate connecting rod bushing clearance.
Connecting rod bushing clearance = C - Dp
Standard: 0.005 - 0.017 mm (0.0002 - 0.0007 in)
Limit: 0.030 mm (0.0012 in)
If it exceeds the limit, replace connecting rod assembly or connecting rod bushing and/or piston set with pin.
